2 California Foundation for Agriculture in the Classroom Vision: Mission: An appreciation of agriculture by all. To increase awareness and understanding of agriculture among California s educators and students. All or part of this educational unit may be reproduced for teacher and student classroom use. Permission for reproductions for other purposes must be obtained from the California Foundation for Agriculture in the Classroom. 2 nd Edition September 2003
3 A Garden Plot The Tale of Peter Rabbit Purpose The purpose of this unit is to provide an agricultural theme to reading, writing, and science concepts that are taught in the classroom. The lesson using The Tale of Peter Rabbit and other stories by Beatrix Potter encourage students to think about where their food comes from, distinguish between fact and fiction, and write about personal experiences they have while caring for gardens of their own. Time Four 20-minute story-reading sessions Five 40-minute sessions Ten 10-minute garden-care and journaling sessions Materials Introductory Activity! Books by Beatrix Potter (page 8)! Markers, crayons, colored pencils, pastels, water colors, gel pens! White paper (one per student) Let s Read Some Books! Books authored by Beatrix Potter (page 8) Introductory Activity! Share information about a very special author, Beatrix Potter. Some facts about her life are stated below. Other information about Beatrix Potter can be obtained from books sited in the literature listed on page 8. Beatrix Potter lived with her parents in London, England. During her era, young women grew up and stayed at home with their parents until they were married. This is what Miss Potter did. The top floor of the Potter home, which was originally the nursery, became Beatrix Potter s studio, where she drew, and kept her artwork and pets. She was a fine artist and enjoyed using her pets as models. Her first book, The Tale of Peter Rabbit, was originally a fold-out story card, which she wrote and drew for a friend s ill child. Her friend suggested that she make it into a book and have it published. This she did. Keeping in mind that children have small hands, all of Potter s books were very small. Collections of Miss Potter s pocket-sized storybooks, with unique green covers, can still be borrowed from public libraries today.! Without reading the stories, show the students a couple of Beatrix Potter storybooks. Allow students to observe her artwork and the medium she used for her drawings. Mention that illustrators choose which medium they would like to work with pastels, crayons, water colors, etc.! Distribute one piece of unlined white paper to each student. Have the children select a medium for their artwork (crayons, markers, gel pens, pastels, colored pencils) and then draw a picture of an animal they might use as a character in a book they author. Let s Read Some Books Throughout the next week, read and discuss several of Beatrix Potter s books including The Tale of Peter Rabbit. See the literature listings on page 8 for other Beatrix Potter titles. After reading each story, select a language arts topic to develop with your students. Have the children: 1

Discuss why rabbits are mammals and the characteristics of all mammals.! Conclude your unit by making a list of new information the students have learned about rabbits (see graph examples). The Garden What Do We Need? What Will We Grow?! Make a scatter graph of items that can be grown in a garden.! Make a list of items the students need in order to plant a garden. Seeds! At a learning station with a parent volunteer, have the children observe various types of seeds they could plant in their gardens. Seeds may include pumpkin, zucchini, radish, turnip, carrot, and parsley. Possible discussion topics are stated below:! Discuss seed size and seed shape. What do they look like? What do they smell like?! Is there a relationship between seed size and plant size?! Which packages contain the most seeds? The least seeds?! What are some benefits and challenges with planting small seeds? Large seeds? 3
6 A Garden Plot The Tale of Peter Rabbit Making the Garden Assist students in making individual gardens.! Distribute one container, a bottom of a water or milk jug, to each student.! Have the students choose two types of seeds to plant in their personal gardens.! Have students make plant stakes for each seed they will plant by drawing a picture of the item on an index card with colored pencils. Attach a tongue depressor to the back of the index card with duct or masking tape. If you would like, laminate the stakes or cover them with clear contact paper. Set these aside for later use.! As a class, prepare the soil top soil, manure (sterilized), sand, and vermiculite are items that can be mixed together. Speak with a local nursery about the quantities of each. While preparing the soil, ask:! How does the sand feel? The vermiculite? The manure?! Is soil made of only one type of substance?! If you were digging in the soil in a farm field, what might you find?! At planting time, have each student place about 2" of gravel at the bottom of his or her container (gravel from the play yard will do) and then fill the remainder of the container with the prepared soil (about 6" deep). Make sure that the students do not fill the containers so high that the soil will run off when watered.! Using parent volunteers, have the students plant the seeds. The parents should teach the students how each particular seed needs to be planted, watered, etc. The plant stakes should be added at this time.! Have the children begin each day by putting their gardens outside in the sunlight, checking to see if the garden needs watering, and then watering if necessary. 4
7 A Garden Plot The Tale of Peter Rabbit Journaling and Discussing! Each morning the students should draw and/or write in their journals. Encourage the proper use of periods, exclamation points, capitalization, and pronouns. Teachers and parents can assist the students with journal-writing at various times during the season. Journal entry topics may include:! What I Have Done Today! What is Happening in My Garden! How My Garden is Like a Farm! Why My Garden is Different Than a Farm! Class word lists can be made to assist in journal-writing. A word list example is shown below: Who What When Where I planted today in my garden me watered yesterday outside he grew tomorrow in the sun! Daily, have a discussion on a specific topic. Suggested topics are listed below.! What needs to be done to protect the garden plants from pests such as bugs, rabbits, birds, and mold?! What are roots for? Why do they grow down?! Why do plants wilt?! Why do plants need sun? Or do they?! What happens if one adds too much water?! What happens if plants are too close together? 5
8 A Garden Plot The Tale of Peter Rabbit! Are the leaves of all plants alike?! Do all seeds sprout?! What does a plant need to survive?! Does air temperature affect plants?! What seeds are growing the fastest? Why do you think they are growing the fastest?! After about three or four weeks, allow the children to take their journals and gardens home. Some of the plants can be transplanted into family gardens. Smaller plants, such as radishes, can remain in the container and placed in a well lit area. Take in the looks of pride as children walk out of school with their gardens... all because of Peter Rabbit! Assessment! At the end of the unit, have the students write or draw stories about a seed that is planted in a garden. Have the seed do the talking. Encourage students to include factual information.
